I opened my eyes and tried to take in my surroundings as quickly as I could. My last memory had been on a plane with Ryan, but I couldn’t see him now. I was on a bed, lay on top of the sheets and I felt the sting of artificial light in my eyes. There were no windows in this room.

A chill in the air brought me to full alertness quickly and I sat up and looked around for a clue as to where I was. Had the plane been a dream? A premonition? I had been in a jail cell and now I was out of it, that was all I knew. This wasn’t jail, there had been some natural light in jail.

The pattern of the fabric on the bed was the type that my grandmother had liked, heavy floral with a lace trim. It was almost like a studio apartment in here, there was a small kitchenette, a bathroom with a shower cubicle and on old TV with a cable leading out of the back and tunneling upwards through the ceiling.

When I had been speaking with Quin in the jail cell and he offered me the chance to escape, I hadn’t thought much about the following fallout. Of course, I now looked more guilty of the things they suspected me of, of course they were going to try and find me after they discovered that I was gone. Had I thought no one would notice?

I tried to use my magic to light the wood in the small fireplace, but nothing happened. I tried again, waving my hand more frantically as if trying to swat away a fly.
